January 17th would have been Betty White’s 101st birthday.  Betty was a true lover of animals and a champion of animal rights. Last year many chose to honor legacy by donating to animal rescues. We are asking you to honor her again on what would have been her 101st birthday and help us raise funds to help Peppertree Rescue, in her memory.

Donate today in Betty White’s Honor

Peppertree Rescue has been serving our community for over 20 years, working hard to help dogs of Golden temperament. We take dogs regardless of their age, size, health or breed – our main focus is who they are. We hope someday to have a legacy as impressive as Betty White’s. Please consider donating and helping us do what we love – finding wonderful homes for wonderful dogs.

DONATE TODAY

He who wishes to secure the good of 

others has already secured his own.

– Confucius

This year reminded us that we are lucky to be supported by such a warm community of dog lovers, friends and strangers alike. Peppertree truly saw a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, health issues, and situations in 2022. We may not be able to predict exactly what the needs of the dogs that come into our care are, but we always know that our supporters will help us embrace our mission of providing the best care that we can. As anyone with pets knows, the cost of veterinary care and supplies has not been spared by the rising costs the whole world has seen in recent months. These dogs (and many more) could not have been saved without your support.

Looking to be more hands-on with the dogs? We’re always looking for new foster homes. Whether you live alone, have a family, pets or no pets, we could use your help! Peppertree provides all necessary supplies and covers veterinary costs. For more information, please call or email Peppertree.

We recognize that not all are able to make a large donation, and while we greatly appreciate those who are, we also appreciate small gifts over time – so this year we are adding a monthly donation component to our holiday appeal.  You can donate once or set up recurring monthly donations in any amount using PayPal this year- no amount is too small – all add up to help us do great things.

Why give?

Because of Liv.

Liv is living proof that “once a Peppertree dog, always a Peppertree dog!” We received a phone call in late June from a shelter in western New York about a surrendered Golden Retriever that appeared to have been adopted from Peppertree. We dashed out to retrieve our girl and were happy to see the same mellow, loving personality that had charmed everyone the first time we met her.

Liv was born with a plumbing defect known as “ectopic ureters,” causing urinary incontinence. Four years ago, Peppertree arranged and paid for corrective surgery at Cornell. Upon her more recent surrender, she was again suffering from incontinence, as well as a UTI and diaper rash. We had to wait until September to get her into Cornell for evaluation. Meanwhile, her Peppertree foster guardian kept her clean and dry between diaper changes and walked many miles with her to take off the 10 extra pounds that Liv had gained.

The experts at Cornell determined Liv’s current incontinence is a hormonal problem which is now being treated by medication. They also diagnosed her with mega-esophagus, which means extra care is required with eating and drinking to make sure everything goes down the right pipe. But the best news is that just a couple weeks before her Cornell appointment, the perfect forever family saw her listed on our website. Her 70-day wait in foster care was well worth it to end up in a home with a new best doggy friend and owners who consider her a blessing and will do whatever it takes to give her a long, happy, healthy forever!  DONATE NOW

Because of Maximus and Evangeline.

Evangeline and Maximus are two little bundles of joy that came to Peppertree from a loving owner who could no longer care for them. We were asked to help them find a new start, and we were happy to help them on that journey.

Of course, with them both being seniors, we had some medical issues to take care of. Evie was dripping urine, leading to bloodwork and an ultrasound. Within her first couple of months with Peppertree, she had her gallbladder and spleen removed. As she was getting over that, she had a ruptured anal gland that needed tending to. Throughout it all, she had Chronic Enteropathy (also known as IBS) and suspected Cushing’s disease. Fortunately, she had the support of her foster parents (now her adoptive parents!) throughout the process to keep her comfortable.

Maximus is a tricky fellow who has had a persistent cough that we’ve spent months working on with our veterinary partners. Who knew that finding a diagnosis for such a little guy could be so difficult? Maximus was the more timid of the pair, and it took him quite some time to adjust to his foster family. His foster parents are still trying to teach him how to enjoy leash walking, but he isn’t so sure what all the hype is about. Maximus is still looking for his forever home.

DONATE NOW

Because of Valarie.

Valarie is a small senior girl who came to us from a home in Texas where she was living with close to 70 other dogs. As soon as she arrived, she landed a spot in the hearts of everyone who met her. She immediately showed off how sweet she could be, and was her foster mom’s shadow all around the house from day one.

Before Valarie was made available for adoption, she had some mammary masses removed and a dental procedure with extractions performed. Over the summer, she found a lovely home and started her trial period while Peppertree continued to work on resolving her medical conditions. Sadly, her ongoing care revealed that she has recurring mammary cancer as well as moderate heart disease. Sweet Valarie was given a prognosis of about six months, and she’ll spend her remaining days soaking up all the love her foster/hospice (fospice) can shower on her — and giving it right back!

DONATE NOW

They are just three of the reasons why we are asking for your support this year.  Please consider making a donation and helping us help dogs.  Thank you for helping us continue to help some amazing dogs. 

With inflation and increases in the cost of both transport and veterinary care, rescue expenses have dramatically increased. Dogs seem to be in greater need then ever before. We need your help.  Our volunteers give their time, love, and energy, but that is not enough.

November 29th is #GivingTuesday. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good and help others. Please help us continue to do the work we love, to help us do good, and to keep helping dogs in need.

While we are ever grateful to our community of supporters for helping us do the important work we do, in terms of our expenses versus our donations this was another hard year for us.  Many of our local dogs required extra medical care, and the price of gasoline made transports more expensive. We never want to leave a dog in need. Last year our average cost per dog was over $1000 – this year we expect it to be even higher.

GivingTuesday falls on November 29th, four days after Black Friday and the day after Cyber Monday. We hope you have a tiny bit left for us. If we can get enough people to give us a small amount, we can head into the New Year with renewed finances and strength.  Our volunteers give so much — but time, love and energy are not enough.

Why do we give?  We give because of the Candy Litter – ten puppies who were bottle fed, and who required multiple veterinary visits, including multiple emergency vet visits during their first few days of life.

Why do we give?  We give because of dogs like Kira, who has been in foster for almost a full year and is now sharing her foster home with the Candy Litter, helping to raise them and teach them the rules of the house.

Why do we give?  We give because of former strays like Cyprus, Pepper and Alicia, who are all waiting patiently for new homes and their forever people.

Why do we give?  We give because of dogs like Wanda, who traveled all the way from Texas and needed time to learn how to live with humans in an indoor home.

We know a lot of people are struggling too, so if you’re not in the position to donate, you can also help by sharing our campaign or — even better — start your own fundraising campaign. It’s so simple.

Somehow we always find a way to make it through for our dogs, and we know it is because of the support of all of you.  Peppertree Rescue has been a part of this community for over 20 years and has helped save many dogs, but we need financial support to continue fulfilling our mission.

Please continue that support, please help us help Peppertree dogs.

Thank you!

I don’t do great things. 

I do small things with great love.

– Mother Teresa

2021 continued to be a year like no other. While the needs of our dogs stayed the same, the expenses increased, and we found ourselves watching our bank account more than we have before. While we adapted and made changes, we kept our focus on the dogs, and remained grateful for the ongoing support of our community. Without your help there would be no Peppertree Rescue, and we were very aware of that this year.

We recognize that not all are able to make a large donation, and while we greatly appreciate those who are, we also appreciate small gifts over time – so this year we are adding a monthly donation component to our holiday appeal.  You can set up recurring monthly donations in any amount using PayPal this year- no amount is too small – all add up to help us do great things.

Why give?

Because of Wolfie.

When Wolfie arrived we knew he had a lot of medical needs – our vet did x-rays and found that Wolfie had gone through a surgery in his rear left leg previously that had not healed correctly. He also had hip dysplasia in that leg, as well as arthritis in both legs. Wolfie had a lot of issues, but never stopped charming everyone he met – and we started by repairing a ruptured cranial cruciate ligament in his left leg. You could see his spirit light up almost immediately after he returned home from his surgery. He adored his kitty sister, and during recovery, he was inspired to get up and use his leg so he could follow her around. He also loved nothing more than getting cozy, whether that be snuggling on the couch or stealing his much larger dog sister’s beds.

Wolfie was thriving during his recovery. At his follow-up appointment, his surgeon was very happy with his progress. He tried to push the limits on his walks around the house, and we couldn’t wait until the snow melted and his leg was healed enough to explore the yard to his heart’s content. Unfortunately, within a week after his post-op appointment, Wolfie’s condition rapidly deteriorated. The concern was disc disease and a second emergency surgery was scheduled. And that is when we got the call we never want to get – in a pre-op scan it was discovered that Wolfie’s pain and sudden regression was due to collapsed and disintegrated vertebrae. It may have been caused by an infection from the initial surgery in Wolfie’s leg, way before Peppertree ever met him, or it could have been from an undetected mass in his spine. But it was not repairable, and our only option was to let Wolfie go.

Even though COVID-19 protocols didn’t allow for human pet parents to enter the facilities, our surgeon allowed Wolfie’s fosters to come inside to say goodbye. His fosters posthumously adopted him, letting him leave the world a greatly loved family member.

Because of Chaplin.

Chaplin came to us as an owner surrender from a southern shelter. We expected an easygoing Lab mix who would be placed in no time. But, you never know when there will be a surprise around the corner! And boy were we surprised when Chaplin arrived 8lbs lighter than he had been in the shelter just a few weeks earlier. As a heartworm-positive dog, he had been under exercise restrictions following treatment, so his weight loss was the last thing that we had expected. The poor guy was visibly uncomfortable at times as he battled his stomach issues, and he was in and out of many vet appointments as we worked to make a diagnosis. Finally, he started to put on weight and his stomach issues lessened as he adjusted to new medication and a prescription diet. The months he spent in his foster home as we worked through these issues gave him plenty of time to learn how to live indoors, snuggle on the couch, and gain enough confidence to hop into the car! After all he had been through, we needed to find that perfect home but would we be able to find someone ready to take on a dog who needed an expensive food, a limited diet and ongoing care? But fate sent just that family to us, and to Chaplin, who is now greatly loved and much spoiled – and just what his family was looking for.

Because of Mirabella.

Mirabella was everything a senior Golden should be – sweet, easy, and loves everyone she meets. We knew finding her a home would not be hard, but we also knew it needed to be the right home – as Mirabella had been through a lot of change. The death of one of her owners meant that the house she had always known would be sold, and while her owner was happy to bring her to an apartment, she knew that Mirabella would not be happy there. So she selflessly came to us to help Mirabella find a home where she would thrive. Sometimes you have to love someone enough to say good-bye. Arriving with arthritis and thyroid issues Mirablella was firmly in her golden years – but thankfully we have so many wonderful homes looking for senior dogs like her and Mirabella is once again home.

They are just three of the reasons why we are asking for your support this year.  Please consider making a donation and helping us help dogs.  Thank you for helping us continue to help some amazing dogs.

What is a snuffle mat?

It is a mat with little fleece fingers that a dog or cat has to snuffle through as they look for treats. Use kibble or high value treats, put it down, and watch your dog use their nose and their brain to snuff, snuff, snuffle away. And yes, they work for cats too!

How to start snuffling…

2. Send an email fundraising@peppertree.org with the following information:
3. First & last name
4. Shipping address
5. Phone number

7. Someone will respond to coordinate payment and delivery!

Pricing…

Delivery…

How to clean your snuffle mat…

Easy to wash, machine wash cold on delicate cycle. Tumble dry on low and remove promptly. OR hand wash with cold water and a mild detergent. Let air dry.

Safety…

As with any toy, always monitor your pet’s interaction with the mat to ensure they are using it appropriately and not eating or ingesting the fleece or rubber mat. Remove the snuffle mat when the treats are gone and the mat is not in use, or if any part becomes loose, detached, or damaged.

Current Designs…

Spring has sprung!  And with it Spring fashion.  Fashion like a new Peppertree Rescue shirt available in multiple colors and adult and youth sizes, featuring the smiling face of our namesake, Pepper. No better dog could help represent the sentiment that love is the only gold.  You can buy them here!  The blue, green and pink shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton, and the gray is a poly/cotton blend.

And these shirts will do more than keep you stylish, they are also going to benefit Peppertree Rescue, in particular, a little pup named Candace. Candace is not yet available for adoption so you do not know who she is, but, you are about to learn about her. You see, Candace is a six month old pup who was hit by a car, and sent to us from Darlington, SC. We had hoped to repair her leg, but on arrival found that the damage was too great and that an amputation would be kindest, and the best way to get her back up and running, as a puppy should!

Candace’s surgery is scheduled for April 27th and the purchase of a shirt will help us cover those expenses, as well as benefit the dogs of Peppertree Rescue. So please, buy a shirt, share the sale, spread the love, and know that Candace is another dog of gold.

Thank you to all who attended!  We raised $600 for Peppertree with your help!  Thank you to Denise Batko for hosting a lovely event!

We know these are challenging times but thankfully we are all focused on staying well. Now more than ever it is important for us to keep a social distance but still be able to have some fun and connect, and it doesn’t hurt that it benefits a great cause like Peppertree!

Easter and Mother’s Day are approaching so why not do some shopping online and raise money for our furry friends. Some live events have been cancelled for Peppertree but we can still get together on line to do some shopping and raise some money for our awesome dogs.

Our host’s commission for all sales will go to the Peppertree. So grab a friend (online), a snack, a drink and have some fun with us on Friday, April 10th at 7 pm.

Please RSVP so we know you are attending. Party will be about 40 minutes. If you can’t join us then go ahead and take a look on line and order directly. All orders will be credited to the PepperTreem Rescue. These guys do a great job and they still need us during this tough time!

In light of our current situation Peppertree Rescue is postponing our adoption events for March.

However we do still have some wonderful dogs for adoption and would love to help you find your dog.  If there is a dog on our site that interests you the first step is to put in an application here and let us know you are interested in a certain dog on your application.

If you have an application in, please do not hesitate to call us at 518-435-7425 or e-mail us at rescue@peppertree.org when you see a dog you are interested in.

As always our dogs are placed not on a first come first serve basis, but based on who is the best fit for the dog, so while we do encourage you to be proactive it does take time to go through the process and we appreciate your patience as well.

Thank you and stay safe,

The Peppertree Board
